Camera wont power on. I tried 3 sets of batteries

\015 Camera wont power on. I tried 3 sets of batteries\015

Answers :

If the camera\015\012has recently been dropped it may have lens damage that is preventing it\015\012from powering up. If it hasn't been dropped, your problem may be due\015\012to corrosion on the battery contacts inside the camera which can\015\012prevent the full power of the batteries from flowing into the camera.\015\012Try this free fix before you do anything else: remove the batteries and\015\012wipe the camera contacts firmly with\015\012a dry cloth (heavy corrosion may require cleaning with a wire brush,\015\012steel wool, or sandpaper). Remove any residue that may have fallen\015\012into the battery compartment during cleaning, then wipe both ends of\015\012the batteries, place them back in the camera, and give them a good\015\012charge (assuming that you're using rechargeable batteries). This cleaning clears\015\012the problem about 90% of the time. If it doesn't work for you, the camera may have\015\012a problem that requires professional repair.\015\012\015\012\015\012\015\012\015\012\015\012If this response helps, please post a rating for me.

Power issues. Just recently I've encountered a problem with my camera. After plugging it into my computer (And not noticing the power surge notification on the desktop while doing so). It locked up and powered itself off. I tried turning it back on, and it turned on for a split second then shut off without retracting the lense. I switched batteries and it retracted the lense, but I tried powering it on and the lense only came halfway out and it powered off. I've tried 4 fresh sets of batteries a

My camera, a nikon d70s, wont turn on and work. ive taken the battery out and out it back in, still wont work. i then tried 2 charge the battery but still wont work. i then tried to re-set it but it still wont work.

If the camera does respond when you hold down the shutter release, then the internal clock battery may have drained. As the manual says on page 17, charge your main battery, put it in the camera, and leave it be for up to three days. ...

My camera won't power up with fresh batteries.
It died while I was taking photos. I thought the batteries were flat so put in new batteries (two different sets), but the camera wont turn on when the start button is pressed.

Try plugging your camera in via-usb into your computer. That's usually the most direct way to get power to your camera. If that doesn't work, check the battery door where you insert your batteries. It could be loose or closed incorrectly. If your cam ...

We have a relatively new Sanyo vpc-s120, and have just tried to change the batteries for the first time. I have tried several sets of both alkaline AND rechargeable (both of which are recommended in the instruction manual), and each time, the camera screen says "battery depleted" or "low battery warning", and it just powers back off or only stays on VERY briefly.
What am I doing wrong???

The battery of my samsung s860 was recently dead so i though that was why the lens wouldnt go out all the way. I have tried two new sets of batteries and the camera is reacting the same way.

Camera - Fujifilm Finepix A500. The screen goes blank when taking a picture. It does not take the picture and although the screen goes blank and only comes on again when the power button is pushed the lens remains out. It does retract if switching the camera off. There are new batteries in the camera and a different set has also been tried.

What worked for me with the same problem is to reformat your internal memory and/or picture card. First, download all your pictures saved from your camera to your computer, since the reformat will wipe them off the camera memory. Next, follow the ins ...

Batteries had become low and when I put new batteries in the camera switches on. the , the flash open, the viewer window lights up with set time and date option. The program dial shows low battery but I have tried three different sets of batteries. I have left the camera turned on as I write this and after a few minutes the lens does extend but when I tried it again it will no extend immediately as it should.

Make sure the batteries are the correct type and voltage for your camera. Also because of the age you may have corrosion on the battery contacts inside the battery compartment. If this is the case then no matter how many batteries you try they will n ...

You really should take the camera to a specialised service. If you kept batteries in the camera this whole time, you probably have corrosion happening inside, that damaged the circuit board. In this case, probably the damage is so hi that it wo ...
